    The house leaked, but it rained all night, and the boat was late and encountered a strong wind!

    ¡°While the Kwantung Army headquarters was busy mobilizing troops and generals to prepare for the crazy attack by Lu Zhanwu¡¯s troops on the southern front, Wu Tiancheng¡¯s troops also launched operations on the northern front.

    Unlike the troops on the southern front who specialize in attacking strongholds in rural towns and villages, the troops on the northern front have a clearer goal. They are also not aiming to occupy territory. They specialize in attacking factories and mines controlled by the Japanese and puppet troops and attacking transportation lines.

    On August 18, Wu Tiancheng personally led 15,000 well-equipped troops in a sneak attack on Zhuhe County, annihilating a brigade of Japanese troops stationed in Zhuhe, and also captured a complete infantry regiment of the puppet army.

    In this battle, Wu Tiancheng's troops took decisive action and had already mixed a large number of special forces into Zhuhe County in advance. The intelligence department also cooperated vigorously. While attacking the county, they also targeted 32 factories, mines, forest farms, and development groups throughout Zhuhe.  The controlled group of tribes launched an all-out attack.

    In just two hours after the battle started, Wu Tiancheng's troops annihilated all the Japanese and puppet troops in Pearl River and the private armed forces formed by various companies, and completely controlled Pearl River.

    Subsequently, Wu Tiancheng ordered the troops to collect thousands of puppet troops and transport more than 13,000 rescued prisoners of war and laborers back to the Wuchang headquarters. The main force continued to launch attacks in Yanshou County, Fangzheng County, Bin County and other places  .

    The Japanese army also responded immediately. The Japanese army stationed in Harbin immediately dispatched a Japanese mixed brigade and two puppet infantry brigades, totaling more than 10,000 people, to attack the Pearl River from the direction of Acheng.

    However, what the Japanese army did not expect was that Wu Tiancheng's troops did not fight the Japanese army in Zhuhe. Instead, the main force attacked all the way to the east, completely ignoring the tens of thousands of Japanese and puppet troops behind them.

    On the morning of the 19th, Wu Tiancheng¡¯s troops captured Yanshou County, annihilated an infantry brigade of the defenders, and captured tens of thousands of Japanese expatriates who had evacuated into Yanshou County.

    These Japanese expats were all members of the pioneering group in Yanshou. When they heard that the main force of the Chinese army was coming, they all rushed to the county seat in panic. As a result, they all became prisoners of the national army.

    Like the battle in the direction of the Pearl River, Wu Tiancheng's troops moved very quickly in Yanshou. In less than a day, all the large and small factories and mines in Yanshou and the industries controlled by the company were wiped out.

    At the same time, all the Japanese and puppet military strongholds in Yanshou were also eradicated. Even the traitors and pro-Japanese businessmen who had been in power for more than ten years were punished as they deserved, including suppression and confiscation of property.  property.

    Facing the arrogant actions of Wu Tiancheng¡¯s troops, the Japanese and puppet troops sent from the direction of Harbin were quite angry. After reoccupying Zhuhe, they immediately attacked Yanshou from Zhuhe under the command of the brigade leader, Major General Saburo Murata.

    It was enough to pretend to be a grandson once. This time, Wu Tiancheng's troops did not withdraw from Yanshou. Instead, they used the main force to actively block the Japanese and puppet troops. At the same time, they concentrated their forces and moved to the two wings of Murata's troops, preparing to take out these more than 10,000 days in one go.  The puppet soldiers ate it in one bite.

    Wu Tiancheng¡¯s troops have this strength. Although the troops on the northern front are not as large as those on the southern front, they still have 50,000 troops, and their weapons and equipment are slightly better.

    The reason why we did not garrison Zhuhe before was to let the little devils relax their vigilance and let them pursue the pursuit with confidence.

    This is also the shrewdness of Wu Tiancheng. He understands the Japanese and puppet troops very well. If they attack the Japanese and puppet troops from the beginning, these guys will become extremely cautious.  Annihilation is unlikely. After all, when it comes to the ability to escape, not many people can match those puppet soldiers.

    But if you show weakness from the beginning, with the arrogant personality of the little devil, you will definitely feel that the national army is mediocre. Coupled with the fact that Lu Zhanwu's troops are fighting on the southern front, the Kwantung Army Headquarters will most likely think that the national army is not good enough.  Wu Tiancheng's army was just a partial force, the purpose was to provide cover.

    Under such circumstances, it is inevitable for the Japanese army to chase the Chinese army and run away. If they counterattack at this time, it will not only be easy, but the probability of annihilating the opponent is also very high.

    The battle started at Wanbaoshan outside Zhuhe City, and then extended to Yanhe Town and Fushoutun, and finally stabilized temporarily at the Hengtou Mountain line.

    The Japanese and puppet troops seemed to be very powerful. In less than a day, they broke through many lines of defense of the national army and were about to reach Yanshou County.

    But in fact, they are stepping into the trap carefully laid by Wu Tiancheng step by step. The front is just a sweetener for them, and the real killing move is about to come.

    So when the puppet troops reached Hengtoushan that day, they immediately discovered that the Chinese army, which had been like mice a few days ago, suddenly looked likeIt was as if they had formed an army, and their energy looked like they had been given a shot of blood.

    Moreover, the opponent's weapons and equipment were also different from the previous troops. The national army they encountered in the morning still used Japanese-made weapons, which were similar to theirs. The rifles were Type 38, and some used Liao-13.  The machine gun is the Taisho 11th year or Taisho 16th year type. There is not much difference between the two sides.

    Even in comparison, the Japanese army has a certain advantage in weapons and equipment due to its relatively uniform equipment and a small amount of artillery.

    But after arriving at Hengtou Mountain, the situation of the defenders on this line quietly changed. Although some troops still used Japanese-made weapons, and many people still used Liao series firearms produced by Fengtian Arsenal, there were  Most of the troops were replaced with Soviet-made weapons and equipment.

    Major General Murata is a veteran who participated in the 1939 Battle of Nomenkan. He still remembers the war that year, so he can tell at a glance where the equipment in the hands of the Chinese army in front of him comes from.

    This discovery shocked him. If there were only a small number of Soviet-made weapons, it would be nothing. After all, the Soviet Union had not supported Chinese weapons and equipment in recent years, and firearms were the bulk of them.

    Especially in the early years of the war, the Soviet Union spared no effort to support China, so it was only normal for Soviet troops to appear on the battlefield.

    ¡°But you have to know that this is the Northeast region, there is no organized national army, and half of the Chinese army in front of them is using weapons and equipment made by the Soviet Union. This is worth pondering.

    In fact, Major General Murata thought correctly. The equipment used by Wu Tiancheng¡¯s troops was supported by the Soviet Union.

    Just as the Japanese did not trust the Soviets, the Soviet Union did not trust the Japanese either.

    The Kwantung Army has always been a sharp sword placed over the head of the Soviet Far East Military Region. Stalin did not believe that the Japanese formed such a large army to deal with the Chinese guerrillas hiding in the mountains and forests. Only a fool would believe this.  Words to coax ghosts.

    At the critical moment when the Western Front battlefield enters a comprehensive counterattack, Moscow will never allow any mistakes. Any mistakes may cause all efforts to be wasted.

    So when it comes to aiding China, Moscow has a high degree of unity.  They did not require Li Guoyao's troops to wipe out all the hundreds of thousands of Kwantung Army troops, but they did hope that they could contain the Kwantung Army and prevent it from having the ability to interfere with the Soviet Union's territory.

    The first batch of weapons and equipment for the six divisions has all arrived. According to the agreement between the two parties, the equipment for the other eight divisions is already on the way and is expected to be delivered to Xilinhot before the end of the month.

    It was precisely with these weapons and equipment that Li Guoyao had the confidence to immediately launch a counterattack, and Wu Tiancheng had the confidence to completely annihilate Murata's troops.

    And just when Murata's troops were storming Hengtoushan, a 3,000-man partial division of Wu Tiancheng's troops suddenly crossed into Zhuhe County and captured it again, cutting off Murata's retreat.

    At the same time, the main force of a total of 6 regiments on the left and right sides suddenly appeared in front, rear, left and right of Murata's headquarters, forming a huge encirclement around it, and completed the encirclement with lightning speed.

    ¡°In an instant, everyone in Murata¡¯s department was stunned, and the situation reversed faster than anyone expected.

    In the morning, they were making great progress, but in the afternoon, the troops became a turtle in a urn. Everyone, including Major General Murata, felt that God was full of malice towards them.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
